Double-peaked impact force of very soft gel balls.
نویسنده
چکیده
We measure the time change of the contact force F(t) during the impact between very soft gel balls and a rigid substrate. For low-impact velocities Vi, F(t) is single-peak functions as intuitively expected; and the relation between Vi and the peak value Fm [of F(t)] obeys the prediction of the standard theory for the impact in the linear elastic regime (i.e., the Hertz theory). On the other hand, for large Vi, where the gel ball deforms into thin pancakelike shapes, F(t) becomes double-peak functions. We compare the data of F(t) for large Vi with a prediction of a model proposed in our previous study [Tanaka, Europhys. J. E 18, 95 (2005)]. The model can quantitatively reproduce the experimental Fm - Vi relation, and shows that the double-peak behavior of F(t) is a consequence of the expanding deformation of the pancake-shaped gel, i.e., spreading motion parallel to the substrate.

Bouncing gel balls: impact of soft gels onto rigid surface
– After thrown onto a solid substrate, very soft spherical gels bounce repeatedly. Separate rheological measurements suggest that these balls can be treated as nearly elastic. The Hertz contact deformation expected in the static (elastic) limit was observed only at very small impact velocities. For larger velocities, the gel ball deformed into flattened forms like a pancake. We measured the siz...

– We investigated impacts of nearly elastic spherical gels (very soft balls) onto a solid substrate. The Hertz contact deformation expected in the static (elastic) limit was observed only at very small impact velocities. For larger velocities, a gel ball deformed into flattened forms like a pancake. We measured the size of gel balls at the maximal deformation and a contact time as a function of...
متن کاملOptimizing the Characteristics of the Motion of Steel Balls and their Impact on Shell Liners in SAG Mills
The equations governing the motion of steel balls and their impact onto shell liners in industrial Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mills are derived in full details by the authors and are used in order to determine the effective design variables for optimizing the working conditions of the mill and to avoid severe impacts which lead to the breakage of SAG mill shell liners. These design vari...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF WEAR AND IMPACT PROPERTIES OF GRINDING BALLS USED IN SARCHESHMEH COPPER PLANT
Abstract: Ball mills are used in the last stage of ore processing for grinding raw materials. Forged 70Cr2 alloy steel and Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) balls are materials from which grinding balls are made for Sarcheshmeh Copper Plant (SCP) ball mills. In the present study wear and impact properties of these two kinds of balls have been investigated. Some balls randomly were selected as ...
متن کاملEffects of Bromelain Tenderisation on Myofibrillar Proteins, Texture and Flavour of Fish Balls Prepared from Golden Pomfret
An enzymatic method to tenderise golden pomfret (GP, Trachinotus blochii) flesh by marinating with bromelain (BML) solution was developed to produce GP fish balls with a texture similar to those of yellowtail fusilier (YF, Caesio cuning). Treatment with BML reduced the hardness, chewiness and gel strength significantly but increased the resilience of GP fish balls. As a result, 0.4% (enzyme-sub...
